Louise, they are the most delightful little birds....
Everywhere I have lived since coming to this area, they have been there....so when we moved to this new estate, where the trees were very small and the gardens almost non existent...I thought that it would be years before they came.....silly me.....I had no idea that they considered Pittosporums, which are in 5 out of 10 gardens around here, the ideal home......people use them as hedges because when they are pruned they are very dense....

Last Spring the first family moved in and had 3 nestings, this year
they are everywhere.....it's funny because they eat and bathe in our garden and nest in all the Pittosporum hedges up and down the street...
In the mornings and afternoons they hop around the front lawn and driveway and in and out the plants in the garden...they are tiny like little mice with a fan tail....
